I have a Sid system freshly updated and upgraded today and I see no
packages held back on my desktop system with a lot of packages
installed.  At this moment I have 2693 packages installed.  Everything
looks heathy and happy to me.

What packages are you seeing held back?

Sometimes, without being aware of it these packages have been held back 'at your request'. Just enable installation through the Ncurses interface of aptitude and if there are any objections, decide on strategy on a case by case basis.
But, usually, they'll just be installed with no questions asked.
